China's Strategy toward Taiwan in the Post-Cold-War Period (1989-2000)

Abstract
Military strategy is in serve of national interests, which is my basic idea through the whole paper. The theme of this paper is ¡§Mainland China's Military Strategy toward Taiwan in the Post-Cold-War Period¡¨. It can be divided into four folds: Firstly, the characteristics of post-cold war and its impact on the formation of military strategy of Mainland China. Secondly, the difference of military strategy thought between three China national leaders. Thirdly, possible military strategies and actions that China might take to against Taiwan. Lastly, the future challenge Taiwan might face and the way to get along with China's superior military power.
This thesis has six chapters. In First chapter I introduce my research motive, method, structure, goal, and also define the content of military strategy. Then, in Second chapter I analysis the changing situation of the world and how it impacts Mainland China's national interests, and goals. Third chapter, I survey the thought of Mainland China's strategy. Fourth chapter is the discussion about the possible strategy and action that would be used by Mainland China's military against Taiwan. Fifth chapter discuss the future challenge and opportunity bring in by the relationship across Taiwan Strait. In Chapter Six I portray the future relationship development across Taiwan Strait and give some suggestion to Taiwan government.
Based on the result of my research, I conclude that the main military strategy of China against Taiwan is a 'deterrent military strategy' enforced by a high technology war. Unfortunately, China seems on the track toward its goal. On the other hand, threaten by superior military power of China; Taiwan¡¦s military strategy simply could be described by four words 'Firmly defending, Effective deterrence.' However, the context could be expressed by two concrete approaches: 1. Reinforce his military and logistics capabilities in preparing to face the coming severe campaign launched by the Mainland China. 2. Equip himself with anti-missile facilities as part of his negotiate power when reluctantly forced to deal with the opponent on the table.
